NEIL LENNON has confirmed Albian Ajeti will be part of the squad tomorrow and could make his Celtic bow at some point in the evening but he WON’T be starting.
Ajeti signed late last week and he’s only had a short amount of training time with his new teammates – which Neil Lennon acknowledges.
? NL: on Albian Ajeti – “He’ll be in the squad tomorrow but he’s not ready to start as he’s got a little more work to do. He’ll be a good signing for us. He’s a natural goalscorer and that was a position we were looking to strengthen.” #CELKRR

Celtic had to submit their Euro squad for the tie against KR before they signed the Swiss striker but UEFA rules allow for two players to be registered up to 24 hours before kick off.
Ajeti gets his place and will likely get a run out of the game has been put beyond doubt.
There’s a big hope Ajeti can be a difference maker this season. The club have put their money where their mouth and its up to the player to show he can live up to expectations.
The game kicks off Tuesday night at 7:45pm.
